Conservation Initiatives

CuriOdyssey’s Conservation Program focuses on conservation issues that impact San Mateo County and, more broadly, the native California animals that reside at CuriOdyssey. We accomplish this through a variety of projects, including habitat restoration, sustainable practices, research, citizen science projects, and captive breeding.

NEW science research program at CuriOdyssey! CuriOdyssey has partnered with the Invasive Spartina Project to conduct original science research aimed at marsh restoration in the San Francisco Bay Estuary.

Learn how CuriOdyssey strives to be a leader of sustainability in our community through conservation-focused business practices and by offering opportunities for sustainable choices and products to our staff and visitors.
